Zen Pinball Classics features a dazzling collection of four Zen Studios original pinball designs all upgraded for Pinball FX2. Shaman, El Dorado, Tesla and V12 have been re-mastered with updated graphics, superior ball physics, and a host of new features.

In my humble opinion, this DLC contains 2 hardest tables to get a massive score and it is the V12 and Tesla tables. These 2 tables in itself will make you tear out your hair in frustration. If you are looking for the ultimate challenge in Pinball, this Classic Pack will give it to you in an uncompromising manner.

Hate to say it, but this may be one of the least justifiable packs, with the exception of El Dorado. Read on.

Shaman is ok. You can get into it. It seems like half the table (top) is dead space most of the time, reserved for a minigame that rarely pops and isn't that exciting. Most of the action is in the orbits/ramps and up front with an odd "spinning floor" dynamic that sends the ball flying in any direction. The volcano is plinko-like and can be annoying to activate "that last one."

El Dorado is excellent, and one of my favorites. Trick shots, random drops, fairly easily activated kickbacks / ball saves etc provide a nicely scaled challenge. Really, everything is great in this table, and may make the pack worth buying on its own.

Tesla is a very low scoring table that nevertheless has some cool elements and challenges. Most notably is the magna-save which is easy to activate (prevents middle hole ballouts). It's not much to look at, the monochrome tone is pretty bleh. And while most tables have the irritating "flash effect" at the bumpers near the flippers, it is particularly harsh on this table. The table is fun but it's not the most memorable experience.

V12! What a great idea for a table - that falls flat on it's face. Regarded by many as the worst table, and I would probably agree. Definitely one of the lowest scoring. But that isn't what ruins it, (I wrote a bunch of stuff here but it's too long. It's just a bad table).
